- Here is an interesting question for any System Software guru out there. We
- have several Mac's and PC's at our site. My Mac IIci has 8MB Ram and an 80MB
- hard drive running system 6.0.7 with several INIT's/CDEV's including Norton
- File Saver, DateBook INIT (this one want 200k of system space!!!!), SAM, Asante
- Ethernet drivers several fonts and HeapTool to help some heap growth problems.
- When I do an "About the Finder" from the Apple menu, my System sapce is 1800 or
- so and I've upted my finder memory to 320 from 160 (also helps heap problems I
- am told).
-
- One of my users has a Mac IIsi with 5MB ram, 80MB hard Drive, Asante Ethernet
- drivers, SAM, Minimal Fonts and DA's and her system heap is up near 2000K!!!!!
- what is going on here????!!! We even reinstalled her system, optimized her
- Hard Drive and ran Norton Utils on the files and it is still up in the 2MB
- range!!!
-
- What gives, how can I reduce this?? (We're not allowed to run System 7 yet
- which really ticks me off but that's GTov't beaurocracy for you!!!)
-
- Any help is appreciated!!!
